seatbelts in a s2
mark.yellow.series.3:
does that mean then, if you have a landy that doesnt need seatbelts, but has them fitted, you dont have to wear them?

Indeed. As I understand the law if they are there they have to be used.

I think its further back than this date, I had to fit belts in my l/w for mot, I checked the rules and it was right, not having the info in front of me till monday, but it would be worth checking on that date. the lightweight is a 72ish

I really hope You are wrong, mine is a 1976 and i dont want belts :cry:

Cant find the right links, I'll see if I can get to the books tomorrow if my mate is in, and check to confirm
Ok after further looking, It seems to be 1965, but I can't confirm this date at the mo though
http://www.ukmot.com/mot_check.asp
ABout half way down the page it says
SEAT BELTS
Most vehicles after 1965 must have seat belts, irrespective of that requirement, all seat belts fitted to any vehicle must be inspected for:
• Security of seat belt mountings and locking stalks
• Security and operation of the locking/release mechanism
• Condition of webbing
• Retraction of the belt (it is permissable to manually feed it in).
Notes:
1 For technical reasons the inertia locking mechanism is not checked.
2 On some vehicles the belt is attached to the seat, in which case the security of the seat to the vehicle would also constitute part of the seat belt check.
Unless someone else can confirm this, remember there is a lot of people away at the mo so this is going to be quite until sunday night
But the date does ring a bell rfom something else but it could be to do with another part of the test procedure
